I am a hiker from out of state (CA) and I was wondering what people would expect the conditions to be for a climb up Mt Humphreys at the end of March. I have previous snowclimbing experience however I am not familiar with the mountains in Arizona. Are there any good trip reports with a lot of pictures that show a good route through the snow? Will I need any extra snow gear besides an ice axe and snowshoes? Does anyone know a good place to rent snowshoes near Flagstaff?

The best deal in town I've seen so far for snowshoe rentals is from Peace Surplus for $9.99. They're located just downtown across from the train station on Route 66. I haven't personally climbed up Humphries but I've heard it's intense. Be sure to take plenty of warm clothes and dress in layers and have lots of water and snacks on hand!!
